    Hi all. My nephew has just purchased a 2010 Blade (red/black).
    I didn't know the year (sent me a photo of the front/side only) and told him it was an 08 as it has gold engine casings.
    Am i right in thinking only the 2008 model year have gold casings?
    I think you can tell the model year from the engine number also cant you?
    please advise.
    cheers
